So glad to hear you got in Mike ...

Thanks Pauly. It was mind-blowingly great. Hope to meet up again next year.

Ronnie joined Paul tonight at the O2 Arena in London playing Get Back. Paul plays with his stolen bass, recovered after 50 years.

That's really cool. Paul is knocking 'em out. Nice that Ronnie made an appearance. A great finale for a tour.

A great night indeed - it really is amazing to think that here we are at the back end of 2024 and I have seen The Stones and a Beatle perform Live this year. We are lucky indeed! For anyone catching the gig tonight, look out for more than one Beatle......

That is amazing .......

So Ringo might make an appearance ? WOW !

He's in London. I think all bets are off tbh. He's done it before and if he comes on stage to perform (as he did in 2018, accompanied by our very own Ronnie) then the song will likely be 'Get Back' but wouldn't it just bring the house down if it's 'Now and Then'?

Ringo joined Paul for Sergeant Pepper & Helter Skelter tonight.

And here's Ronnie's spot on Get Back,a song he's guested on previously.

Cool, just saw Ringo was there as well. Very nice.

It's good to see Ronnie in good shape.

A mate of mine was sitting next to Ronnie at the O2 gig back in 2018. When Ronnie got up to 'leave' my mate said "where are ya going"? to which Ronnie replied "I'm on in a couple of songs time"!
Can't argue with that...........

Great picture of Ronnie and awesome that Ringo was there as well. Last saw McCartney in 2022 in NJ. Unforgettable when Springsteen and Bon Jovi joined. And we got I Wanna Be Your Man. Hoping to see him again soon, doesn’t seem like he’s done

I was there with our very own @WildSlivovitz. On that occasion Ronnie & Ringo both played on Get Back. IIRC Roger Daltrey sat either next to or certainly close to Ronnie in the crowd. The last show of the tour is always the best chance to catch one-off occasions like that, especially if in London.

Ronnie has a gift to fit with anyone and it always feels good.

Get Back in the best quality I could find. Ronnie nailed it.

It partially erases the Stones failed version of Come Together a few years ago...

He’s singing better this year than in the last several, so I think he can keep going. It was getting pretty dire there for a bit - and it’s still not what it was even ten years ago - but it’s been decent from the clips I’ve heard so far.

I would have had to be carried out of the building if I'd seen Paul and Ringo playing together, Paul with his original guitar.

Thank you, London! We’ve been all over South America and Europe and here we are back home for the last shows of the 2024 ‘Got Back’ tour.

Making its first stage appearance in 50 years... is my original bass! I haven’t played it in 50 years and what is more, here’s a special guest, a Rolling Stone: Ronnie Wood. And another surprise for you – the mighty, the one and only, Ringo Starr!

See you next time!

I was in section A3 on the floor in both 2018 and on Thursday, right next to the section they sat in off the floor. In 2018 it was Ringo and Barbara, Ronnie and Sally and Adam Clayton and his wife Marianne all seated next to each other. Roger Daltrey was down the row a bit from them. On Thursday, Ringo and Barbara were 1 row in front of Ronnie and Sally who were down a few seats. Directly behind Ringo was Ed Sheeran. I saw Stella McCartney briefly come over and talk to Ringo and Barbara the people around them and Mary McCartney was there for a bit as well. I believe it was Olivia Harrison seated next to Barbara.

A few videos I made on Wednesday Dec 18 at the 02 London. Hope you like them.

Anyone else get the feeling that was the last time? I didn't use to feel this way.

Naaa, saw plenty of that after Glastonbury a few years ago. He’ll be back.

Based on his performance(s) during the Get Back tour, I don't think he's ready to hang it all up yet !

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Fingers crossed you guys are right. Maybe I'm just being sensitive. The way The Beatles ended touring in Candlestick makes me feel like history repeating itself. Anyhow, I'm real happy he's getting a lot of good press.

Thanks for the videos, great quality!

Does anybody know where to see or get the recent One Hand Clapping film on the 'net?

It's on British Sky Arts: 26th December 2024, 9pm - [www.Instagram.com] , [www.TheGuardian.com] .

Trust me, when Paul is done touring it'll be known. And morbidly, though semi hopefully, I don't actually think he's ever gonna stop till he's dead. He'll either get sick and we'll know he can't do shows anymore, or just get to old and suddenly pass. But I think we got a lot more years left of him. His show hasn't slowed at all in the last 20 years. The decline has yet to occur and until then I don't think there's any need for retirement talk (though I understood the Glastonbury stuff, him turning 80, etc. But we've blown way past that now).

I don’t think he will retire from the public performance without playing another big Liverpool gig.
There was a rumour some time before that he would play the new Everton Stadium.

Maybe we will see Paul next year on stage with the Rolling Stones, as a guest on "Bite My Head Off"? : - )

I don’t quite agree that the show hasn’t slowed in 20 years, the set doesn’t change much year to year since about 2013, because while there are still 40 odd songs he can still sing, he does 30+ each night, so there’s not much to change around. He dropped Yesterday in 2018, for instance. I’m glad he’s still out there and he can still do a great show, but it’s not what it was in the 00s.

I meant the show hasn't gotten any shorter. He still does a 2 and a half to 2:45 hour show and has for close to 20 years now. Its not like in 2018 he did a longer show than now. But yes, some songs have come in and out since then.
